In the present study, the effect of systemically administered vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) (25 ng/kg i.p.) was investigated on drug-induced rotational behavior, extra-cellular dopamine levels and histology of corpus striatum in a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease. After 15 days of 6-OHDA lesion, apomorphine-induced (0.05 mg/kg s.c.) rotational behavior of the animals significantly increased and extra-cellular dopamine levels of corpus striatum were significantly reduced. VIP reversed the rotational deficits but did not alter the decrease in striatal dopamine levels. On the other hand, histological data indicate that VIP significantly reduced neuronal death and demyelination. Electron microscopic appearance of mast cells showed ultra-structural variety between VIP-treated and 6-OHDA lesioned groups. VIP activates mast cells without any evidence of typical exocytosis, and possibly mast cells could participate in neuroprotection. Our results suggest that systemically administered VIP can attenuate the motor response changes, neuronal cell death, and myelin sheet loss characteristically associated with 12 microg 6-OHDA administration into the rat striatum. Brain mast cells seem to participate in neuronal protection. Possibly, protective cues could be produced by brain mast cells.  相似文献

Although there are many studies on effect of fluoride on trace elements in experimental animals, few studies exist on serum trace elements levels in patients with endemic fluorosis. We aimed to determine the serum levels of trace elements including serum copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and serum levels of minerals including calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K) in patients with endemic fluorosis. The study group consisted of 30 patients with endemic fluorosis (17 females, 13 males, mean age 33.53 ± 9.85 years). An age, gender, and body mass index matched 30 healthy volunteers comprised control group (21 females, ten males with a mean age 33.93 ± 7.39 years). Urine fluoride levels of chronic fluorosis patients were significantly higher than that of control subjects as expected (1.92 ± 0.10 mg/l vs. 0.41 ± 0.09 mg/l, respectively; P < 0.001). Serum Cu levels (89.14 ± 16.77 μg/dL vs. 102.69 ± 25.04 μg/dL, respectively, P = 0.017), serum Zn levels (77.98 ± 20.58 μg/dL vs. 94.57 ± 35.87μg/dL, respectively, P = 0.032), and serum Mg levels (1.92 ± 0.18 mg/dL vs. 2.07 ± 0.31 mg/dL, respectively, p = 0.022) was significantly lower in chronic fluorosis patients than in controls. There were no statistically significant differences between the fluorosis group and control group with respect to serum levels of Na, K, Ca, and P. We concluded that chronic fluorosis is associated with reduced serum levels of Cu, Zn, and Mg.  相似文献

Zinc which is an essential element has very important effects on growth and immune system in patients with thalassemia major (TM). The effects of two oral iron chelator agents, desferrioxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP), on zinc levels were investigated in previous studies and they were found to cause zinc deficiency. Zinc level alteration by the new chelator deferasirox (DFX) is not present in the literature. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of different oral chelators on serum and urine zinc levels in TM patients. Zinc levels are compared in the patients who received different chelators: only DFX, combined chelation with DFO plus DFP and the healthy control group. A total of 56 patients with TM were involved in this study: 39 patients received only DFX and 17 patients were given combined treatment DFO + DFP between August 2008 and August 2009. In addition, a control group was established from the healthy population. Blood was taken from all the patients for serum zinc levels and 24 hour-urine samples were collected for urine zinc levels. Serum zinc levels were found to be 64.8 ± 14.8 μg/dL in DFX group and 66.5 ± 15.1 μg/dL in DFO + DFP group. These levels were statistically lower than that in the control group (149 ± 54.3 μg/dL) (p < 0.05), but there was no statistically difference between the two different chelation groups (p > 0.05). The urine zinc levels of DFX and DFO + DFP group were 662.2 ± 428.2 μg/day and 1182.3 ± 980.3 μg/day respectively (p < 0.05). Urinary zinc excretion in the chelation groups (DFX and DFO + DFP) was significantly higher than the control group (395.1 ± 208.9 μg/day) (p < 0.05). As a conclusion, the new chelation agent, DFX, also leads to zinc deficiency, though its urinary zinc excretion is lower. New studies are required to examine the effects of DFX on zinc extensively. Zinc levels of patients with TM should be followed up regularly and zinc supply should be given at early ages.  相似文献
